Metallic aluminum (Al) is of interest as a reducing agent because of its low standard reduction potential. However, its surface is invariably covered with a dense aluminum oxide film, which prevents its effective use as a reducing agent in wet-chemical synthesis. Pitting corrosion, known as an undesired reaction destroying Al and is enhanced by anions such as F⁻, Cl⁻, and Br⁻ in aqueous solutio...

BACKGROUND Nanotechnology is now regarded as a distinct field of research in modern science and technology with multifaceted areas including biomedical applications. Among the various approaches currently available for the generation of metallic nanoparticles, biogenic synthesis is of increasing demand for the purpose of green nanotechnology. Among various natural sources, plant materials are t...

The solid-phase chemical assembly of a protein through iterative chemoselective ligation of unprotected peptide segments can be followed with chemical and/or enzymatic transformations of the resulting immobilized protein, the latter steps thus benefitting from the advantages provided by the solid support. We demonstrate here the usefulness of this strategy for the chemo-enzymatic synthesis of g...

Nanoparticles (NPs), particles having one or more dimensions below 100 nm, are currently being synthesized through chemical and physical methods on an industrial scale. However, these methods for the synthesis of NPs do not fit with sustainable development goals. NP synthesis, through chemical and physical methods, requires high temperatures and/or pressures resulting in high energy consumption...

an environmentally benign and clean synthesis of aryl-hydrazones by reacting variety of carbonyl compounds with thiosemicarbazide, semicarbazide, aminoguanidine, and phenyl hydrazine has been achieved using aqueous extract of acacia concinna pods as a natural surfactant type catalyst. we found that the aqueous extract of acacia concinna pods could be effectively used for the synthesis of aryl-h...

In the present study, we carried out chemical synthesis and characterization of Fe3O4@PEG-Au as a magnetic nanocomposite in aqueous solution by chemical co-precipitation of Fe3+ and Fe2+ ions and encapsulated by poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) in order to enhancing hydrophilicity, biocompatibility and immobilizing gold ions in the presence of NaBH4 as a reducing agent. Nanostructures were characte...

Zinc sulfide (ZnS) & zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles was evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against four pathogenic strains. ZnS&ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by simple aqueous chemical reaction in an aqueous solution. The main advantage of these nanoparticles (size of 10-30 nm) was that simply could be prepared by using cheap precursors in a cost effective and high throughput manne...

Ag nanostructures are widely used in catalysis, energy conversion and chemical sensing. Morphology-tailored synthesis of Ag nanostructures is critical to tune physical and chemical properties. In this study, we develop a method for synthesizing the morphology-tailored Ag nanostructures in aqueous solution at a low temperature (45 °C). With the use of AgCl nanoparticles as the precursor, the gro...

This paper reports the synthesis of silver nanoparticles coated with porous silica (Ag@Silica NPs) using an assisted laser ablation method. This method is a chemical synthesis where one of the reagents (the reducer agent) is introduced in nanometer form by laser ablation of a solid target submerged in an aqueous solution. In a first step, a silicon wafer immersed in water solution was laser abl...
